Ascend

Memories of days splashed with rue, 

Misgivings accumulate 

Penalties accrue

For when thine judgements of foolhardiness come due

Tis then that you realize that your days here are but few

After touching the bottom rock with the sole of your shoe 

Only then

Can you ascend 

And set your compass 

To true

angsthopeintrospectioni do not know?
